The almond aroma is just awesome and it makes it easy to identify this Agaricus, supposing one knows how to recognize the genus.

I looked for the prince during the fungal fall flush. However, the prince likes it warm and needs a bit of rain.

A Brief History of Mushroom Cultivation Fungal cultivation was arguably the first intentional human production. This is thought to have taken the form of mead (honey wine) production long ago when early humans discovered that by placing a bee hive in a small body of water that they could come back a few days or weeks later to find the water transformed into an intoxicating drink. Some of the first known examples of intentional mushroom cultivation, however, are found in 3rd century Japan where Shiitake mushrooms were grown on oak logs.

Some Reasons to Grow Mushrooms. Mushrooms. Main > Food and Agriculture > Controlled-environment growing Mushrooms are the reproductive organs and the only visible part of fungi.

The fungus organism consists mostly of mycelium, which is a web of very fine strands that stretch invisibly through the soil. The mycelium lives perennially and only produces mushrooms under certain conditions of humidity, light etc. Mushrooms can fetch quite a high price compared to other foodstuffs, so their cultivation can be quite lucrative. Some edible mushrooms have shown impressive health benefits in studies and many help prevent cancer.
